Hundreds of Sacramento-area students rallied to support four students suspended for wearing anti-gay shirts. One participant said: "It's only going to get worse against Christians. We're going to get persecuted more and more. But those who stand to the end: God is going to save them." Um, right...

Sony's banking on Spider Man 3. Literally. Some insiders claim the flick cost $300 million to produce. No doubt, however, it'll make it back. And then some.

The International Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission will honor Nepal's Blue Diamond Society for all their hard activist work. Unfortunately, they will not be honored with actual blue diamonds.

We've never quite understood Kate Moss and Pete Doherty's relationship. Now we do. And they're kind of cute. Still total nutters, but cute...

The fuzz may have been investigating theft at Atlanta's airport, but they found a bunch of horny gay men, instead. Now they're looking for more.

Maryland's House has passed a bill requiring health insurance companies to extend benefits to same-sex partners and children. The bill now needs to be signed by the governor to become a law. (We totally just had a School House Rock flashback.)

GLAAD's celebrating the tenth anniversary of Ellen Degeneres' coming out with a month full of flag-waving faggotry.

Sri Lanka may forbid homosexuality, but that's not stopping gay activists from planning a pride event. Trouble is, they don't have any money. Do you?

In an effort to make a more single friendly album, Madonna has joined forces with Justin Timberlake and uber-producer Timbaland. If they can't help her sales, no one can...

The House Judiciary Committee isn't fucking around with Attorney General Alberto Gonzales. They've just issued a subpoena for more documents regarding the allegedly illegal firing of federal prosecutors. Nail him to the wall, kids!

New York has agreed to extend benefits to employee's same-sex partners. About fucking time, no?

Mario Vasquez still claims he's not gay. But, of course, the interview took place before that whole sexual harassment lawsuit, so who knows...

Don Imus may have called them "nappy-headed hos", but the Rutgers Women's basketball team has agreed to have a little sit-down. We hope they give it to him good.

Robbie Williams may have ditched Take That! to embrace his bad boy image, but some are saying the recently rehabbed singer's mulling a musical reunion. Um, is that supposed to be a career booster or a death rattle?

21-year old Akino George has been sentenced to eight years in prison for his role in the beating of gay singer, Kevin Aviance. Like his violent cohorts, George copped a plea. Smart fucker...

Will There Be Little Cummlings?

sexycumming.jpg
After two years of homo-lovin', Alan Cumming and his American boyfriend Grant Shaffer are making honest men of one another. Mark Malkin from E!'s Planet Gossip reports that the two did the dedicatory deed this weekend in London.

The British city, however, can't claim status as Cumming's first choice: in a November interview with attitude magazine, Cumming discussed possible wedding plans, saying:

I think if we could get married in America we totally would have by now. I'd have my friends Andrew and Sue as bridesmaids and also Cyndi Lauper and maybe Liza. But then maybe she's had enough of gay weddings by now... especially after her own!
Aww, what a considerate friend.

It's worth noting that we offered to give Cumming away, but he declined, citing the fact that we're not homies and that, in fact, he wouldn't invite us to the wedding, anyway. (And he didn't. He did, however, invite Rufus Wainwright and actress Mary-Elizabeth Mastrantonio.)

Don't think married life's going to slow Cumming down: his latest directorial offering, Suffering Man's Charity starring (surprise!) Cumming, Anne Heche and David Boreanaz, debuts at March's Austin-based South by Southwest Film Festival. He's also starring in the forthcoming fag-coaches-rugby team tale, Coming Out with Catherine Zeta-Jones. For his part, illustrator Shaffer's been hard at work on the storyboard for Mike Nichols' Charlie Wilson's War, starring Amy Adams. If you want to take a closer look at his work, check out his website. His other work includes Madonna's Bedtime Story and the comic book, Thirty Types of Passion (we love those nerdy types).

Mazel to the tov, gents. May you be together forever. Or, until the end of time. Whichever comes first.

It's almost too ugly, even for us...

We've been following the Gest/Minnelli divorce with a wary eye. You've probably heard about the herpes allegations and all the boozing, but that intrigues us not.

What we find most intriguing is the bodyguard assistant angle: M'Hammed Soumayah, who once counted Minnelli as his illustrious employer, is suing her for $100 million. Soumayah claims Ms. Liza with a z beat him and attempted to bed him in exchange for his job.

Shocking, right? We love Liza as much as the next fag, but if she tried to get us to fuck her, we'd ask for $200 million. And a yacht.

In an upcoming Newsweek interview Liza Minnelli says she isn't sure how she obtained gay icon status, but perhaps it has something to do with her, shall we say, unconventional looks:

“I think probably Barbra (Streisand) and maybe even Cher and myself in school felt like outcasts because we didn’t have standard looks...Maybe what a gay icon is, is a person who is rooted for — in other words, cheered on — by people who feel different.”

seminnelli.jpegWell gosh, perhaps it also has something to do with her domination of 1970's musical theater in gay-themed shows Cabaret and Chicago (if you haven't rented Cabaret yet, you must), her short-but-amicable marriage to super-gay Peter Allen, her raging drug habit fueled by regular appearances at Studio 54, and her disasterous marriage to gross Botox posterboy David Gest. And wasn't she the daughter of Judy Garland, or someone like that?...

She also says in a contest between herself, Cher and Streisand to determine who’s the No. 1 gay icon, Cher would win. We say it's all a wash.

• We're scratching our heads on this one. So gay guys in Hong Kong under 21 who are caught having sex go straight to the slammer? Isn't that sort of like handing a lush the keys to the liquor cabinet?
